+Clay Johnson explains how gov't agencies should use social media not just to talk but to listen to their constituents:

"We believe that the Federal Government cannot participate online in a meaningful way until it starts accepting comments through the web that can go then go on the record. In short: you can throw all the technology you want at this problem, but until it's lawful to accept a Facebook or Twitter or Google+ comment as a regulatory comment -- one that can be admitted to the official record -- meaningful public participation cannot exist."﻿
